Mecca Coffee - Alexandria

Went for a brunch with friends. We had 2 small/medium sized prams with us, the service was OK, one waitress wasn’t particularly helpful — there were available seats, but we weren’t offered to sit at those tables maybe because she fears we would block the way — but another waitress came and helped us. <br/ <br/ We had BAE rolls and they were great. Large mocha was good too but wish it was more chocolatey.

Came here for coffee after having brunch elsewhere. We all got lattes and they were pretty good! It’s a really aesthetic cafe with pretty decor. Would stay here just to chill and chat with friends.

The coffee's rougher than most of the fancy coffee roasters (which I like) but still very creamy with some interesting flavour. Good but barely good enough for the price being stronger or getting some syrupy flavour could have improved it. The rest of the cafe is perfect though, from the nice area (which unfortunately can be crowded even out of peak times) to the staff and the wonderful food the meals are excellent but they even put effort into sourcing very very buttery croissant that didn't lose flakiness as those often do, and charged less for it than some fancy bakeries charge. I should have asked where they got it.

Had the Buckwheat waffle with pineapple and blueberries and the Fried buttermilk chicken burger for brunch. Was quite tasty. Serving was a bit small but enough for us. Coffee was good. It gets quite busy at around 11am so have to get in there early! Service was prompt

Vegan Bowl (4/5): A healthy bowl full of flavour! One of the best vegan bowls I’ve had with superbly cooked and flavoured mushrooms and a lovely mix of quinoa and grains. It looks too healthy to be true but the flavours and the textures will surprise you <br/ <br/ Beans Medley (4/5): This is a GENEROUS serving of beans! The sourdough has a smear of buttery pesto and goes so well with the hearty bowl of beans. If you love something saucy, this one is a winner! <br/ <br/ Iced Chai Latte (3/5): The chai was a bit underwhelming. It needed more flavour but when I asked for sweeter they didn’t have any so that was a bit of a let down. <br/ <br/ Overall, would highly recommend the food here. Stellar brunch
